Description
Erma Bombeck meets Stephen King.Step into the mind of the award-winning author, Sandra Miller Linhart and get a glimpse of her irreverent thoughts. Through humorous (and some dark) poems, essays, and short stories, Sandra reveals more about the inner workings of her life and mind than you probably ever wanted to know.Sandra's insightful short stories will take you on a journey of self-discovery and introduce you to a different viewpoints than those held by the general population. She offers poems both bitter-sweetly innocent and jarringly raw and difficult, much like peering into an open wound. Her humorous essays speak to the absurdities of life, sometimes in a sarcastic or sardonic, but always light-hearted way. The words between these covers appeal to the dreamers and the observant; those who've tried on the shoes of love, only to find they pinch and blister. Mothers, especially those of the single variety, will find a kindred spirit in Sandra Miller Linhart, and a realization they're not alone.

Person
Sandra Miller Linhart was born and raised in a somewhat isolated, but beautiful, mountainous town in Wyoming. There she cultivated her love of the written word, as the nearest decent record store was a good two-hour drive away and the one local radio station played only country and classical music at that time. Were it not for that, Ms. Linhart might today be a rock star, or, at the very least have better taste in music. As it turned out, Lander provided a well-stocked and constantly updated library. Thus, the young Ms. Linhart often found herself taking long journeys into the wonderful worlds created by authors like Ursula K. LeGuin, Judy Blume, Madeleine L'Engle, Stephen King and, of course, Erma Bombeck in the dusty basement which contained the children's section of the Fremont County Public Library. Sandra then traveled the country as a military wife and mother of five army brats; soaking in our country's diverse and obscure cultural differences-which makes wonderful fodder for her stories. She currently lives in the mountains of Colorado but spends a majority of her time at the beach. Sandra writes in hopes of sharing her love of reading and writing with everyone. She utilizes her sociology degree and personal experience in writing children's books for caregivers, parents, and children to better connect and communicate, with the goal of healing anxieties and fears. She loves to write for children of all ages, and plans to do so until her last page is turned. Life (and how you live it) is her inspiration. Visit her website: www.sandstarbooks.com
